Colossians 2:6-7 (NIV) So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.

The Apostle Paul likened the spiritual journey to the image of hardy plants rooted and drawing sustenance from Christ Jesus. Lent is a process of living more fully in Jesus strengthening our faith through the intentional cultivation of our relationship with him!

What needs pruning and cultivating in your faith life? Today will you prune away some of the things that get in the way of your relationship with Jesus?

May the roots of your faith be strengthened today as you grow in love with Jesus!
